ACE Academy is a strict discipline academy located on the campus of Spectrum Juvenile Justice Services, a residential treatment facility for young men ages 12 to 18. The Academy, established on September 28, 2007, was founded on the belief that all children can learn if provided a nurturing and challenging environment where expectations are high and support is bountiful. As a strict discipline academy ACE Academy is a highly specialized environment catering specifically to the needs of students who, for any number of reasons, have already disengaged from learning within a traditional school setting. The Academy's vision is to work in partnership and cooperation with other agencies that also serve these same students.
